Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that adult cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) can produce new cardiac cells. Such cell formation requires an intricate coordination of progenitor cell proliferation and commitment, but the molecular cues responsible for this regulation in CPCs are ill defined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Extracellular matrix components are important instructors of cell fate. Using laminin and fibronectin,...
